Well, Im working on snowing and various holiday things for my roleplaying game. To add to the snow and roleplay feel I want to know how to make footprints if someone is walking on the snow turf, and only the snow turf. Can someone explain? Give me something to work with? Anything!?

Thanks!

Well you could give the turf an Enter() and make it spawn footprints.

I somewhat tried fiddling with that, I was wondering if there was another way.

I just started coding today so I'm not sure on that one but I'll try and fool around with it.

i'm sure theres a better way to do this but if i can be of some help try this.

mob/Player/Move()
    for(var/turf/T in view(0,usr))
        if(T.type==/turf/snow)
            new/obj/footprints(usr.loc)

I don't have time to walk you through step by step, however Exited() is the proc you're after. It's called after you've left the atom (which will be our '/turf/snowyground').

Inside of Exited() you'll want to add something that adds an overlay (a picture of footprints) to the src (our snowyground).

turf
    snow
        icon='turf.dmi'
        icon_state="snow"
    Exited(mob/M)
        if(istype(src,/turf/snow))
            new/obj/footprints(usr.loc)


Something like that's what you're looking for, but I'd make sure to make the footprints disappear after awhile if I were you, otherwise it'll lag your server.

turf
    snow
        icon='turf.dmi'
        icon_state="snow"
    Exited(mob/M)
        if(istype(src,/turf/snow))
            var/obj/footprints/F = new/obj/footprints
            F.loc = M.loc
            spawn(20)
            del(F)

You're using it wrong. It should be turf/snow/Exited(mob/M). The istype() check is then unneded. Then, you shouldn't use usr, or M, or anything but src. src is the turf, so place a footprint on src.
